"Have you ever watched yourself poop?" an acquaintance of mine asked me last night.
"Um, no. I mean, what? I don't understand the question?" I ask, even though I don't know why I'm asking, because no matter how she meant that question, my answer is still no."
"Have you ever watched yourself poop? Like in the mirror." she explains.
"Like watching what your face looks like?" Why I'm still asking for further explanation is beyond me.
"No. Putting a mirror ~under~ you to watch." Which drives her question home without needing anymore explanation.
"Heh. No." I try to say without laughing. But I have to ask now, and really, I do ~not~ want to know, but I hear me say "Have you?"
"Yeah, it's really gross."
"Yeah, I'd imagine. So how bout them red sox?"
The above exchange was a real conversation I had yesterday. I swear, I couldn't make stuff like this up.
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.

About Me
- nancy
- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

I just snorted a little water up my nose.
WTF? Even more than why one would want to watch themselves poop, who goes and asks other people if they do it!?
I've watched plenty of people poop as a nurse, but I must say it has NEVER sparked a fascination to watch myself do it.
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!
LOL that is so gross! however, my 2.5 year old is currently potty training and will poop on the potty no problems! what grosses me out about it is she spreads her legs open wide and then watches to see what comes out. to say it drives me bonkers is an understatement! i ask her why and the response is always, "because i want to"

I sometimes have insecurities about my self thinking I'm just to weird for people, I now have no worries =D j/k
Ever watch the Truman Show? Reminds me when he's talking about sanity and the difference between people who think stuff, and the ones who act upon what they think. Kind of funny really, not the watching your self poop part, but the fact that she said what was on her mind (or him);)
What?! Ew!
What? You're not lame. I like jokes.
The whole waiting thing is crap man. Patience is way overrated.
Oh my. Reading your blog never fails to humor me. That just made my day. How funny & gross!
only in your world, my dear... don't get me wrong, I'm entertained reading the post. but knowing that I'm reading it on YOUR blog - I'm sadly not too shocked by it.
your world would be an interesting place to vacation, but I'm not sure I could live there! lol
WTF...seriously. What the fuck?
LMAO!
HAHA thanks for the laugh Nancy! Thats kinda weird though, not you but the person who asked it! What if you accidentally pooped on the mirror? lol
WTF? How can you look her in the eye after that one?
oh...well...thanks for sharing!
I have no desire to do that!
Haha, that is disgusting. And funny. I have to say I have never even thought about watching poo happen.
Thanks for the laugh!
I HAVE watched myself poop!!
Heh heh.
True! I was a kid though, so that's my excuse. It actually scared me.
Nancy, please please tell me your Aussie guy called Monkey who broke your heart story! One day when you can't think of anything to post, just post it. (And, if you ever did come to Sydney, you would LOVE the inner city suburb of Newtown. Totally you.)
Nice 16 week belly pic!!! xoxoxox
so gross...so funny...
Thanks for the comments and well wishes on my blog. This was a really funny post.
That is very strange!!! Unbelievable!!
HaHa!!! I can honestly say I've never had that particular conversation before and I've never watched myself poop!
I don't know how you didn't laugh at her!
Here's one...
My MIL went on a date with an Italian guy that she had been talking to online and on the phone. She said the date did not last long because he asked her if she had ever eaten crap and if she'd be willing to try it. She says he was serious and when she left he said "that's what's wrong with you Americans. You are too close minded."
um... ew.
OMFG!!! Sounds like some old Webmd convos from back in the days when Gen and I were there stalking around!
CONGRATULATIONS, mommyontheway!! :) Sorry I've been away so long!
I might like to talk about poop but I do NOT want to see myself poop, ever! Ack!
ummm, was this a grown up aquantaince? cause if so, ICK! that's just wrong.
yeah...how bout them red sox?
I must say that I have also watched myself poop....I was curious!
Okay... Am I the only one who cannot even picture in my mind HOW she pulled this feat off? And by watching, what exactly did she mean? Are we taling 'Fried Green Tomatoes"... and OMG GROSS! or the potty training thing?
Either way.... Ew, ew, ew.
Tammy, she put a mirror under her butt when she was sitting on the toilet.
I almost peed myself reading this!
BTW your belly did get smaller! Waht is the deal with that?
What a CRAZY question!! And how akward for her that you didn't say, "Yea! Me too!"
ok first GROSS!!! why would she be watching herself poop? and yeah i was a cna and seeing those elderly people do it was too much for me. don't think i'd wanna see myself do it. ugh why? lol
